So I took a look and here are the calls:

https://www.on3.com/news/field-of-64-projections-new-no-1-seed-two-hosts-change-ncaa-tournament-college-baseball/

Basically, we have gone from a last 4 in after beating Arizona, to 'not in but considered', to 'that's cute, you think you will be playing in the Tournament?'

Got to sweep Utah this weekend to stay in the hunt.

Losing back to back series (one of which was at home) to the likes of UH and TTech with a mid-week home loss to TX State in between will do that for you, especially when you were just barely in beforehand,

Doing my once every five years check in on baseball. Yep seems we still suck. What a perpetual rebuild.

Approaching mediocrity

But better than last year

Perspective. Things are headed the right direction.

2023: 20 wins. 6 conference wins. Didn't qualify for Big 12 Tourney.
2024: 22 wins. 10 conference wins. Didn't qualify for Big 12 Tourney.
2025: 25+ wins 8+ conference wins Should qualify for the Big 12 Tourney. (15+ games left)

Progress. It's a longshot to make regionals, but the opportunity is still out there. I think Mitch said our RPI is in the 70s, so we have some work to do.

Keep getting talent that's slightly better year over year and we'll get there. This team can play lights out one night but then let a game slip away the next. More fun to watch than the last few teams.
